I've pretty sure I've got at least 100 peanuts stashed in my garage from a Douglas squirrel that likes to hang around my place. I give her peanuts and for the last month or two she mostly has stashed them instead of eating them right away like she did earlier in the summer. And most of the time she stashes them, she does so somewhere in my garage.

She runs the same general circuit most of the time, going up the left wall, crossing the rafters to the right, stashing the nuts somewhere up there (I haven't yet gotten around to getting a ladder and trying to find out just where she puts them), and then exiting somewhere on the right (she has a couple of different ways she comes down).

Here she is running her garage circuit:

As far as I've seen none of the eastern gray squirrels that are more common here use my garage. I've only ever seen them burying peanuts in my yard, or taking them somewhere off my property.
